America's top drug enforcement officer, acting chief of the Drug Enforcement Administration Chuck Rosenberg, shot down President Trump's remarks about police use of force in a worldwide memo to DEA agents Saturday, stating that they should disregard any suggestion that roughing up suspects is okay, per the WSJ ... Rosenberg's background: A longtime Justice Department official, Rosenberg perviously served George W. Bush's first attorney general, John Ashcroft. He also worked for the now-Special Prosecutor in the Russia probe, Robert Mueller, when he was FBI director; and ex-FBI Director James Comey, first when he was deputy AG and again when he became FBI director.
Then in 2015, Attorney General Loretta Lynch hired Rosenberg as acting administrator of the DEA under Barack Obama, and he was kept on by the Trump administration.
Our thought bubble: The move on Rosenberg's part draws parallels to when Sally Yates, then acting attorney general retained by the Trump administration, said she'd refuse to defend Trump's travel ban. Trump asked for her resignation.

Sessions is busy chasing pot smoking MS-13 in El Salvador.
When is Trump going to do the same?
Sure, they are out to get him and this guy should have been booted months ago.
But to have advocated roughing up suspects was a mistake on Trump’s part.
Yeah, because chopping off people’s heads with machetes is no problem at all. Leave those poor innocents alone
Good grief, I get it that pot smokers are paranoid and hate Sessions because they think he will confiscate you house but this is way off the deep end
Chuck Rosenberg....figures
“When is Trump going to do the same? “
Yes, these people are eating his Administration from the inside out and he seems oblivious to that fact. I want Trump to succeed. This country needs him to succeed, and all of this Administration bull $hit is taking him down, one effing day at a time.
All President Trump said was ““If they bring a knife to the fight, we bring a gun.” “Because from what I understand, folks in Philly like a good brawl. I’ve seen Eagles fans.” Oh wait, no no no, that was obama on June 13th, 2008...That’s right...Not President Trump, it was odunga...Okay then, well, never mind.
He wasn’t serious. It’s difficult for some people to know when he is joking. Guess you have to be a native New Yorker.
I’m definitely not from New York but I knew he was kidding. Unfortunately, Trump is not allowed to joke. Remember when he joked about Russia finding Hillary’s lost emails? People went ballistic, just like now.
Any day now Sessions is going to lower the boom.
‘roughing up suspects’
show us the quote.
Guess these azzhats learned nothing from the Germans during WW II.

One thing for sure, Trump is getting these idiots to out themselves.
I can almost envision a Saturday Night Massacre coming on. Either that, or a promotion to Head of the Coat Closet in Anchorage.
so how many of trumps nominees have been approved by the senate?
very few. when trump gets his men in place things will change
Sometimes I feel that if Trump doesn’t care about what these vermins are doing to him as part of his administration, why should I?
